A "eoss" AND A KING.

Ex-senator Malone Receives Advice
from the ''King of the Dudes"
One Of the most amusing spectacles seen at
Monmouth Park the other day was that Of
ex-senator Malone, of Virginia, and Gen.
Roger A. Pryor, holding a confab with Mr..
e. Berry Wall. The ex-senator resembles, In
cross between q Seventeenth century Hol-
the present day. He IS exceedingly diapha-
nous looking and weighs something over
~ninety-ive pounds The cut Of his funnel
shaped collar creates speculation in the minds
Of the beholders as to where under tho sun
It could have been manufactured, and tho
duting around his trousers pockets challenges
the admiration Of all who admire bouf1art
drapery. Gen. Pryor lowered above the lit
tie Virginian as the leaning tower does above
the dwellings Of Pisa Locked, arm in arm,
they strolied about, the cynosure Of many
eyes, until that well known gentleman, E
Berry Wall, incased in his immaculate cos
tune, happened to meet them. The languid
Brummell placed his glass to his left eye and
scanned the politicians attire with wonder.
Gen. Pryor introduced the distinguished men
and the conversation turned on horse racing.
Gen. Pryor suggested it would be safe to
bet Oh Firenzi.
@Ah, no, take Lady Primrose, she is tho
winner" spoke up Mr.. Berry Wall.
Gen. Malone became interested and stroked
his hair as if getting ready to make a speech
In the senate. He looked at Mr.. Wall with
an expression Of mingled skepticism and
hilarity. The shoes of Mr.. Wall, glossy and
rejecting the long beard Of the ex-senator,
caught his eyes, and then slowly the inspeo.
ton continued until Mr.. Walls face was
reached. Then the Virginia Republican
"boss" shut one eye and spoke in that sharp,
s~queaking tone OF his which Nat Goodwin,
with all his versatility, could never hope to
initiate: eyes, Neester Wall. that is a good
tip, a good tip. but 1 won't indulge in any
betting today"
Gen. Pryor stood like a colossus between
the two men and enjoyed the slow, quaint
talk of Mr.. Malone and the curious accent Of
MI. E. Berry Wall
When the two Virginians parted from Mr..
Wall they gazed at each other for some
minutes, as if they desired to remember how
zach was dressed IN the great occasion-New

PIANOS TO RENT.
An Industry Which Is Growing: and the
Secret Of Ultimate Sale.

An Industry Which Is Growing aud the
Secret Of Ultimate ale.
A dealer the other day estimated that 100.
600 families Of this city and Brooklyn possess
pianos. IAN Of these" he said, 'are not
owned by the holders. OF late years there
has been a great demand for pianos to hire.
One store in Brooklyn makes that branch Of
the business a speciality. They charge for
tho loan of a piano from 50 to IS a month
and 81 up for an organ. The profit is unu-
sually great and I am surprised that other
dealers do not confne themselves TO that
trade. You must not think, either, that
those who hire pianos are poor. They are Of
the middle class and do not at first relish the
idea of purchasing an instrument out and
out. It is only when the instrument has
been in the house four or five weeks that the
thought Of purchasing it enters the mind Of
the father of the family. After he has Paid
six or seven installments of 81 cash, he begins
to think the hiring principle is a little too ex-
pensive, and threatens to return it. Then the
best friend of the dealer-the young lady of the
household-steps forward and enters a protest.
She remarks that her education will be sadly
neglected if he returns it. Her chances
in life, too, demand a little consideration, she

Some Yachtsmen's Tricks.

pany, awhen the AL Dagger and the Willie
Kleinx were the up and down champions OF
the fifteen feet open boats, as they called
them theai They had many races, and as q
rule the Kleinz came out q winner; in fact,
abe was the fastest boat of her class on the
river, and it got to be 50 that after a while
nobody would race with her. Well, one time
she and the Dagger were racing, and the wind
died out entirely, and the tide was about on
the turn. The men in the Kleinz noticed,
much to their surprise, that the Dagger was
moving along, slowly, to be sure, but last
enough to put all idea Of their winning out OF
the question. They knew the Dagger was fast,
INIT how anv boat could sail without wind or
tide was beyond their ken They also noticed
that there was q man n q boat about wv
Yards ahead of the Dagger, but did not con-
meet that fact with the race, wherein they
were wrong, because this same man IN the
row boat had q great deal to do with the re-
suit, and in this way when the WIND oied ous
this same man and boat passed the Dagger,
and as he did 50 dropped q spool OF slk ineo
